GTD dropped floor anyone?

Is there anybody on the forum (sorry will have to be UK based) interested in having a dropped floor in their GTD?
I'm going to be having some panels cut to enable me to drop the floor one inch on my chassis. This will consist of laser cut panels for both the drivers and passenger seats to sit in, and will be angled at the front to enable them to "slide over" and obstacles.
It occurs to me that I may as well have some more sets made at the same time.
I am planning on having them made in stainless steel and folded and welded ready for fitting. The seat mounting cross pieces will need to be removed from the chassis and replaced with some suitably engineered supports.
Anybody interested?
Simon

Hi Simon
I'm potentially interested. How deep are you planning on making them and do you have an estimate of the cost

Regards
Andy
